Folly of Narcissim

A follie inspired by an English Garden that is full of sensation.

This follie has the ability to produce the sensations of anticipation and pleasure. When you arrive at the entrance of the building you are presented with two options either venturing upwards (self) or exploring the underground portion (other). Either path creates anticipation because you are entering the unknown. However, once you are in either cavity you are overwhelmed by pleasure. In the top cavity you become flooded with light piercing through the glass tips, and you can eventually find yourself in a room full of fur. Underground, the room is completely covered by soft fur, which one can rub against or throw themselves on. The ground on this site is porous and acts as a “flexible window”.

Wearable Architecture

A piece of architecture using the human body as the site. It transforms and has joints relating to a bat.

Like bat wings this contraption starts closed, then goes through stages until if finally wraps the body, sheltering it from harm. It was displayed as an item of fashion would be, a runway catwalk.

Ninja Training Camp

An obstacle course that is a part of a camp for a ninja. Consisting of a “machine”, “cave”, and “tower” and situated along a river.

When the ninja arrives at this destination, the first thing he encounters is the “machine”, which is where his agility is put to the test. First, by pushing a wall. Then climbing a wall using only a rope and strategically swinging into a hole. Then he uses another rope to get to pull himself up. Followed by running quickly through a set of spinning logs. Finally jumping over the river to meditate or sleep in his “cave”. When he is ready to move onto the next course, he climbs up the tower, unlocks a bar that rotates and realeases a rope he must slide down to end up at the next course.

Rebus Inspired

Interpret the painting Rebus by Robert Rauschesnburg and create a vacation home for a single person. The painting has a very strong horizontal element, which is carried out vertically as the core of this vacation home.

A House for Madame X

A house that portrays PASSION in a limited amount of space and considers environmental conditions of site.

By using tilting walls and sharp corners the sense of PASSION

other and do not touch at points portray tension and PASSION.
